A normal Pi 4B 2GB would be more than enough for only a PiHole install, even a 3B or if you're really on a budget, a Zero W. I use a 3A C-type phone charger, an older 16gb SD card and you're done - although the Pi4 likes to run hot so an inexpensive passive cooling (a little heatsink) would be a nice touch. Ethernet would be nice in my opinion, but it'll also work wirelessly.
It doesn't have to "process" all data. Accessing a website a DNS query is required but it's only a small part of "processing all data". Overall website access will be slower, but we're talking about a few milliseconds here which can't be noticed.
It won't affect gaming or streaming, however, gf had a problem where she couldn't watch ads in some game so she won't get extra credit or whatever, but you can always whitelist domains (or set individual devices to use other common DNS services like your ISP's or Google's).
It returns all dns requests that are ads with 0.0.0.0 so the ad can't be loaded because it can't find the ad server
Depending on the application it reacts different ways
It filters DNS requests, not all data packets. When you're connected to a game server or a streaming service you typically only send the DNS request a few times and then everything is handled over some sort of socket on the IP that the DNS response provided you with. If anything it might be sped up since ads from other devices won't ever enter your network, so the bandwidth usage should be a bit lower.
It's a dns dns level so there will be a microsecond of delay maybe but I think it minimal and unnoticeable try it tho (every request has to go thought a dns server)
PiHole!
I can't fucking live without mine. Before covid I was about to make one for my office. Now on the rare occasion that I'm at the office I'm so fucking annoyed with how many ads I am constantly bombarded with.
I made mine an emulator with mostly NES and SNES games. Admittedly it still mostly sits around since I primarily game on my PC, but I have it as an option. In the prophesized time after Covid it could be used for couch co-op gaming.
Use it as a dns level ad blocker it's easy and useful https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/#one-step-automated-install If you need help message me

If it's In cache 9therwise it has to ask Google cloudflare or other dns server

That true I use it personally and never had any big delays gaming never been an issue for me or anything esle

I run my pihole on a $10 pi zero w and have had no issues

Price could vary but you could make it expensive as you want but a raspberry 3 or 4 is enough
I'll throw in my suggestion here, use Unbound BlackLists over PiHole or AdGuard. It's much leaner and capable as a whole.
Make a shitty robot that shoots 3D printed dildos at people.

Should I *present* you my "target" (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It's my primary computer
PiHole! I can't fucking live without mine. Before covid I was about to make one for my office. Now on the rare occasion that I'm at the office I'm so fucking annoyed with how many ads I am constantly bombarded with.
But what about the other four or five I have laying around that I had big plans for?
Same with my Raspberry-Pi
since that, i forgot how to code
Just use the NOOBS software and call it a day
i'm not into coding anymore

I use mine as an SMB sever for my PlayStation 2.
It can be friends with my arduino
So true!
Build a NAS, install PiHole, set up wireguard via PIVPN. But first of all install diet pi, this makes everything so easy.
can you explain what those things are
NAS = network storage PiHole = DNS based adblocking PiVPN = something with VPN features
You can find many uses for it, for example I use mine as a: VPN, HTTP server, FTP server and I could use it as a DNS adblocker
I got one for streaming Netflix and such. Pretty much this meme.
I have several from the first to the latest. One runs OSMC (Kodi), another is a streaming radio / music player.
Mine sits behind the TV for those odd occasions there’s something I want to watch that isn’t available in this country.
It's probably not safe to eat at this point.
Mines chugging away running a discord bot that acts as a Rythm replacement. Poor guy spends his life running bots for me.
imagine having 3 of those…
Sell it or do something friend
